3/5 thread, the globalization of the American #antivax anti-science movement is something I predicted in 2017 (and have been working hard to combat). Here's what I wrote in @sciam back thenhttps://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/will-an-american-led-anti-vaccine-movement-subvert-global-health/ …
4/5 thread, unfortunately I never received the support or agreement of the US Govt to take this on, even after House and Senate hearings last yr following #measles epidemics across the nation. I tried to persuade multiple foundations, but they were too afraid of becoming targets
5/5 thread, so now we're in an awful situation. The US anti-science "health freedom" movement contributed to the deaths of 180,000 Americans, and now threatens Europe. With political will we can still win, here's my article in @PLOS @PLOSBiologyhttps://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3000683 …
6/5 thread, but governments and foundations have to stop this business of being wimpy and afraid, and stop with the nonsense that if we ignore it will go away. It won't. This approach has enabled a mess.
As a retired healthcare worker, I’m gobsmacked there is this much brainwashing. Perhaps Zuckerberg’s fostering disinformation and propaganda networks is bad for humanity? I watched in real time, real life neighbors and family become radicalized by FB harbored shady actors.
I think we also need to be aware that people are experiencing lost of trust, which is, sadly, partly justified. Miscommunications, pushing guesses as well established truths, politics in health care and organisations, where shouldn't be. Political climate. It's all cumulative.
Sorry Peter this is not an anti-vax demo it's an anti-restrictions demo, completely different. Deaths have been flat in Europe for 2 months now (<2 per 10 million per day high median age of death) so there is no longer any justification to keep damaging restrictions going in EU.
But having a face mask while riding a bus is not such a terrible restriction. It actually helps that more strict restrictions do not have to be implemented.
